I have removed the original posting here just in case "the man" decided to give me grief over what I've done. :P But if anyone would like to read the original posting, I have saved a copy of the text and can PM it to you.

Paypal is fine (gifted paypal is even better :D) PM me with your address and I'll send you the email address.
Also, added my small role in the history of these to the original posting. Not sure of the back story of them though.
PM sent
-EDIT- Money sent for 2 discs. And I added some spare change. I can't wait to check this game out.
Can you post an approximate cost for international shipping, please? I would gladly make a donation to receive one of these but do not know how much it will cost you to ship a CD to Australia.
pm is sent my man!! wow, so exciting!!

Just a quick quackulation comes up with something like $4 US for a first class envelope. Its like $12 US for priority mail international (6-10 days) I don't mind sending you one, just toss me a few bucks if you feel like it :)
Sent you a PM. Definitely quite a nice community service.
This is so awesome. I'll take 5. PM forthcoming.
count me in I want 2 too! One to play and one to listen to! :D
Wow, this is awesome. PM sent for a few. Will definitely bring a whole lot of joy this Holiday for many people.
pm on the way for 4; 2 and 2. I will donate accordingly as well :mrgreen:
Just want to say that, once again, such a great offering to the community and I'm sure we all appreciate you doing this.
And I'd love to see someone whip up a 'F@CK Ebay' edition sleeve for these.
And "Cute Sapphire Booties" sounds like some kind of promotional PCE item. Hopefully somebody who genuinely wants to play this game doesn't skip over the thread because of the title. :D
And I will ping you for one of these a bit later in the week!
A little update here. Tobias emailed me and said he saw the thread over here. He kindly sent me a nice pdf file with the jewel case insert and manual insert! Ill upload it when I get home. He even added some f@ck ebay goodies to the label. (Tastefully done I must say!)
You're a good egg, bimmer. =D>
Hmmmm. I wonder if this Tobias dude would like to make a similar deal for a spindle full of Space Fantasy Zones.
PM'ed
Which arcade card will I need to play Sapphire on my PC Engine Duo-R console? :)
PM'D

Either one will work on a Duo, but the Arcade Card Duo is cheaper.

5 of the correct color please and would love the the PDF. Oh and someone bought 100 for historical purposes? Lol
I have a feeling arcade card prices are going up! Since I won the Thanksgiving freebie I can chip in. Sending a PM.
Likewise, PM sent for this one. Will gladly chip in for shipping + donation for your effort. Thanks a ton!

Going through all the PMs now! Theres a BUNCH of em :P
Men, I have to say this is among the best things that has ever happened to this community. Blue, you are an outstanding individual!
We are ever thankful.
I'd like 2 of the correct color version! PM sent!
Shipping + donation sent, thanks again BMW!
Awesome blue! I'll pm with a request and place to send cash donation.
I sent some funds to your paypal addy for two copies (one of each). :)
Updated the original posting! Please review the "requests" list to make sure I have your requests correct! Also, if there is a NO next to your name, that means I need your address!
Blue, is there a way you can host the actual PDF for download?
If hosting is an issue I offer to host the file for public download.
I did a "save image as..." of the insert picture you posted in the beginning of this thread. It doesnt look that bad when printed up to fit a CD case. I'm sure it could be more clear/detailed, but for a CD-copy that I will only use personally, it is no big deal. It works fine for me.
I really like the NO EBAY logo!! :!:
Thanks again to BlueBMW !!! It must feel good acting like Santa.
Let us know when you start shipping so I can sit next to my mailbox all day impatiently. :-" :dance:

UPDATE: I'll be updating the confirmed request list in the first posting tonight! I have 5 more requests to add to the list, plus I received a few more addresses! AGAIN, if I miss you OR have your request wrong, PLEASE let me know! This is a organizational challenge trying to keep up with all of it :P I think I've got it under control though. If I dont respond to your PMs right away, its probably because I have about 20 others to answer too!
sent you a pm, which arcade card do I need to play this? I have the cdrom2 briefcase unit so I'm guessing the duo card in not what I need. Do I need the arcade card pro? would be nice if the duo would work, it's a lot cheaper.

With the briefcase unit you'll need an Arcade Card Pro unfortunately :( The Duo cards will only work for you if you're using a Duo :P

sent you my address, I snagged an arcade card for $39.99 in an Ebay auction. Now hit-Japan has them for $38, but shipping is more so it evens out. There are a few on there for like $84 !
I didn't know that Arcade Card Pros cost soo much now.
Quote from: nikdog on 12/26/2010, 11:31 PMI didn't know that Arcade Card Pros cost soo much now.
Not sure which one 77FTM is referring to, but the Pro card has always been a little pricier. I got my Duo card for $24 I think.
Donation sent!
Thanks for such an awesome gift to the community.
I got my pro for $15, although that was 2 years ago.
Getting a Pro for less than $40 isn't always easy (although $84 is stupid). Duos are easy to get for cheap though, sometimes they come in lots of loose HuCards where the average price per card is $5 or whatever.
I'm surprised nobody has made booties of the CD system cards :-k LOL
Probably too much $ to produce to make any profit off of them.
Aren't the Games Express cards kinda like booties?
Anyway...I'm excited to get my game disc! :dance:
CDs, when produced in sufficient volume, cost about $2 with case and manual. Pretty good compared to the $500 or so for a new legit Sapphire. Arcade Cards would probably cost at least $50 to pirate (if not three times that, and they probably wouldn't work right) which is more than what a real one costs.
Got the first batch shipped today! They all said 2-3 days even though most of them went first class. If that's true then most people should have them by Friday!
Nice thanks BMW!

Is "second printing" a nice way of saying fake copy, or did they really have a legit "second print" of the game??
I wouldn't ebay the game. Ebay is already screwed up. Why make it worse? I'm sure you will see a few of them on ebay in the next couple weeks. Not mine though! [-X [-X [-X
Quote from: GameFreak on 12/29/2010, 10:05 AMIs "second printing" a nice way of saying fake copy, or did they really have a legit "second print" of the game??
Yep, 'second print' equals 'bootleg' - they're not at all official.
ebay is retarted, you sell a region modded console and it gets flagged, but you can sell 2nd print? lol
Its extremely difficult to police software, and personally I wouldn't want to be responsible for it. Half the people selling pirate shit don't even know WTF they have, and the Neo Geo scene...shit, the pirate shit abounds, with the very definition of what is "real" and what is "fake" being dubious in general.
Zeta true - I stopped buying GBA games that were loose because TONS of pirate copies ended up on there several years ago.
Update:
hey looks like there are still fakies on there

Is that someone here?
I could care less. I haven't bought on ebay in a long time. I just like looking at pictures.
You guys are gonna be tempted. But if a bunch of them go for 99cents on ebay than the supply will be much higher than demand and that will keep the price at a few dollars at most.
I'm checking my mail at lunch time. Fingers crossed... :-"
Bluebmw-I'll let ya know as soon as I get it.
I'm not sure I've ever seen it for less than $40 on eBay. People have payed hundreds for it in the past. I think $40 is fair, not any more than that though.
They were $45 shipped from Tobias sealed. They were misprints with a basic manual but $45 didn't seem too bad to me.
Quote from: SignOfZeta on 12/30/2010, 12:18 PMI'm not sure I've ever seen it for less than $40 on eBay.

I think $40 only seems bad because you are passing them out for a pittance here (minus case of course). I can't say I've regularly seen the complete boot versions going for under $40-50.

I bought mine several years ago. Before we knew anything about loosies and misprints. He charged me something like $38 shipped. The dollar/euro ratio was a bit better then, which probably accounts for the difference.
I got my booties in the mail. Now I just have to wait for my arcade pro card to arrive. Thanks Beamer :)
My discs arrived today! Thanks Beamer! Love the return address label.
Thanks, it arrived today.
My booties arrived today. Thanks again. Now to get an Arcade Card.
I got mine in the mail today too. I've already given one away to a friend. Now he can use his Arcade Card for something.
Glad to see that they're arriving ok! If anyone's doesnt show up in a timely manner, please let me know!
Got mine today too Beemer, thanks!
Got them today! Thanks!

UK is fine! First class international has been pretty cheap for sending these. (maybe $2.50 US) All I have left are the misprint copies. They play fine, its just the label colors are off lol. But I still have maybe 200 or so of those left! Send me a PM with your address and I'll send em your way!

Yah, it really looks sketchy when the damn pic is so small too, no closeup shots at all!?!?!
Anyways, Blue like all the guys have already done, i also must commend you on your contributions to the site. The fact that your doin this just so us poor saps can get our hands on this rarity of a game is awesome! And you didn't need to but throwing in the financial stats was a neat touch but doesn't cover the man-hours u've put into the whole project. I just sold a bunch of old Magic:gathering cards on Ebay and it took me almost a whole day to do all the shipping labels and packaging!
(and that's only a 1/3 of the amount of orders your getting for Sapphire!) So good on you sir!
Long story short, can i please get a copy sent to me? haha. Misprint copy is fine, i just wanna see what the hype is all about surrounding this game :mrgreen: What's the shipping for 2 copies to Vancouver, Canada?
Thanks Blue bud!
So if you just print out this whole pdf file, will it be the right size to fit the cd case?
Got mine yesterday...
I noticed something interesting of note with the "good print" disc I got. While the colors are correct, the resolution is substantially lower than the disc in the "full version" I bought from Anime4Ever years ago. I'm not sure if it's just my disc or all the "good print" discs. I'd be interested to hear a comparison from someone else who got a "good print" disc from this batch and also has one of the "original" boots from several years back (Zeta?).

I printed out mine and it fit perfectly. Check all your printer settings and make sure they are correct.
QuoteYeah, my bad print actually looked better quality then my good copy.
Yeah! I never seen the one copy from a few years ago to compare to, but I did get both versions from BlueBmw and I thought the blue one looks way more detailed than the black one.
Very interesting...I never looked that closely at them. If anyone doesn't like the "good" ones, I've got tons of misprints!
I'm not worried as long as it plays good. It's whats on the inside that counts! 8)
Edit- I wasn't complaining. After looking at it again...overall it looks amazing! I think the only reason the blue looks better is because of less contrast to the silver cd compared to black (if that makes sense). I think they both look great.
I should have the arcade card any day now. Anyone been playing this game recently? Have any tips on gameplay?
I will give a crack at printing labels maybe tonight

If its too difficult, you can cheat like I did and play on easy with 9 continues :P After you get a little better you can bump it back up to normal and maybe someday hard.

One of the four ships moves a bit quicker than the rest. I think it's the one 2nd from the left on the ship select screen. Try using it first if the others are too slow.
I agree with Mathius...the second ship has the best control.
The green one is a nice challenge to play with :P Although its weapons seem slightly more powerful to me...
Quote from: elabit on 01/02/2011, 05:10 PMI tried to print directly from the PDF and it was too small, Anybody know the correct dimensions to get a perfect fit???
I use this program all the time to get the right size http://download.cnet.com/DVD-and-CD-Cover-Print/3000-2088_4-10234761.html
but I never had the pictures in a pdf. You might have to do a couple printscreen shots and edit them in paint. This program works really well, you can even do the spines and everything.
Well, the whole point of PDF is so that you can print things without any BSing around.
but if it's not the right size... at least this way you wont waste all that ink.
PM'd (hopefully)

There is "excess" that you need to cut off. Having said that, is it printing the right size? It would appear too large initially, but again, you have to cut the excess off (look at the lines).
ok so far I have printed the document both as borderless and non borderless and it is either too big or too small. Working to fix that.
weird. I printed mine without thinking and it was prefect fit.
The CD insert was the problem for me but fixed it last night. It is sized weird - the document is actually 11.6 inches long.
I got my copies, bimmer. Thanks!
Got my copies today ! Thanks again blueBMW !!! :wink:
I've noticed that the good print is not as good as the original bootleg ,yet it's not a problem here.
some initial shots:

Ughhh, the previously mentioned Sapphire boot ended at $101.99 shipped. [-(
Looks great man.
QuoteUghhh, the previously mentioned Sapphire boot ended at $101.99 shipped.
I noticed that also. It looks like the incorrect color...LOL. Makes me MORE thankful that blueBmw did this for the community. 500 copies X $98 = $49,000... that's IF you can find that many people that want the game.
How much does an original copy sell for??? I saw one a while ago for $1000, but Im not sure if anyone actually paid that.
Got mine on Friday, they look great! Now just need some inserts and I'm good!

If its not the right size then someone needs to fix the pdf or the people printing need to fix their printer. File formats like pdf, eps, and psd have all the dimensional info needed in them. Printouts should be accurate to within tolerances too small to notice.
I can upload something later today just need a host
Here's another one, they even put a $79 price tag on it. http://cgi.ebay.com/PC-ENGINE-DUO-SAPPHIRE-2ND-PRINT-NEW-Factory-SEALED-/380300476564?pt=UK_VintageComputing_RL&hash=item588bacc094 $233 buy it now!
Bootleg sapphire isn't new to ebay
Blue, I received mine. Thanks you are amazing! :)
Im sure the international guys are still waiting but did everyone who requested copies receive them? If not please let me know!
My copy made it across the Pacific all okay -- as soon as I verified that it worked okay, I promptly chucked out my CD-R copy. Thanks again blue. (Though I just found out that my caps in the Duo is now dry. :( *sigh* That's just another item on the to-do list, though once I do it, it should be rock solid for years and years to come).
As for those whose PDF insert isn't printing out in the right size, double check your printing settings, as the PDF seems to be in A4 format (international paper size standard), which is slightly different from North American letter size (8 1/2" x 11"), so your printer driver might be slightly resizing the printing output by default to make the A4 paper size fit into the letter size. (BTW, I'm also loving the anti-ebay logo on this thing -- I'm totally gonna make a copy once I get hold of a nice laser printer!)

I could care less. I haven't bought on ebay in a long time. I just like looking at pictures.
You guys are gonna be tempted. But if a bunch of them go for 99cents on ebay than the supply will be much higher than demand and that will keep the price at a few dollars at most.
Yeah, these copies aren't these loosies, as they're complete with manual and all that, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone like BigmoneyVegas threw up his copies on ebay.
Yeah the size was the issue for me, the document is 11.6 inches long so I think my printer was resizing. However, I did have to modify the image a little because I found the spines did not match up correctly. Sorry I am busy getting some stuff ready for work tomorrow so might have to wait until the weekend (unless you guys don't mind my Photoshop file).

Quote from: nat on 01/02/2011, 02:58 PMI noticed something interesting of note with the "good print" disc I got. While the colors are correct, the resolution is substantially lower than the disc in the "full version" I bought from Anime4Ever years ago. I'm not sure if it's just my disc or all the "good print" discs. I'd be interested to hear a comparison from someone else who got a "good print" disc from this batch and also has one of the "original" boots from several years back (Zeta?).
crappy scan linky
The off colored loosey is on the left, the correct colored loosey is in the middle, and one from a complete version is on the right; it looks like both of the looseys are of the same lower resolution and nowhere near as crisp as the complete version. Not that it matters though, as ya can't play the label.

My purple disc (from BlueBmw) looks WAY better than the purple disc(far left) you show.
I wonder if the different spindles were different print qualities. I used two spindles to fulfill the first orders.
Got my Bootie sapphie's yesterday! Looks great!
Have'nt had the time to check it yet but I do not see any reason to doubt it's funktion :)
Thanks m8!
Quote from: GameFreak on 01/04/2011, 11:10 AMMy purple disc (from BlueBmw) looks WAY better than the purple disc(far left) you show.
I got screwed!!!! :lol:
I just checked my old bootleg from 2006 (somewhere around there, can't remember) and its definitely crisper than these new loose ones. Not just the black (which is missing from the "bad" ones) but the blue as well. However its not so bad that you wouldn't see similar variances from the most professional CD factories. My guess is that they printed too many copies for the method of manufacture. Kind of like the screen print t-shirts you made in high school. After a dozen copies or so things get sloppy.
I received mine last week.
The 'good color' ones have very fuzzy printing and some of the smaller lettering blends right in to the black until you hold it at the right angle under light.
The 'bad color' ones oddly look sharper but like a faded version of the 'good color' ones.
Neither one would even come close to being passed off as a real disc.
(None of this matters of course. :D Just putting it out there for comparison discussion.)

I think they did. My "correct" coloured one is really darkened compared to what it should be and is a pain to read. Regardless I am happy.
Received mine today, glad you got the donation!
Thanks BMW!!

Well received mines ,thanks again BlueBMW ! :wink:
I have noticed that the good print is not of the same quality as the original bootleg,looks like a misprint in fact , but here it has no importance !
Got mine today, thanks a lot!
Us Canadian boys always get our shit later but got mine this week and much thanks beamer (your care package will be in the mail this week as well) and aslo a big thanks to Tobias for the saweet artwork... it printed great and size was dead nuts on.

? Are you asking if we've played Sapphire on something other than an emulator? Yes, that's the only way I've played it in fact. I'm dumb with emulators and usually run out of patience before I can get system cards to work.
I've always used it on original hardware :P That's why I'm happy that these are pressed CDs not CDRs.

I'd imagine most of us tried these on real hardware. :D
But it also works VERY well with Ootake as well. Though it's still not perfect for all games (only bit that I found so far were video/audio not syncing during cinema scenes in CF), I found it to be tons better than Magic Engine, and it loads much faster than real hardware too. And the software itself can even "install" the discs as an image in the harddrive so you don't have to dick around with daemon tools or anything like that.
Just asking cause I have yet to acquire a Arcade card, so I tried it in Magic Engine using System Card 3.0 and it kept bombing out right after first stage character selection. Just curious if this is a known issue with Magic Engine, or if anyone else was having actual problems with the discs....lol
I was pretty sure it was the emu.... glad to hear there is much sapphire goodness going around!! :)
Thanks again!!
PS: Once I get an ACD, I'll let ya know that the discs work. =)

QuoteIs there such a thing as an Arcade Card image?
The system cards can be found as ROM files, just like any game. I'm not familiar with the PC emulators since I stick to the real hardware, but I think you can just load it as any other rom, and then hit the Run button to start the CD.

In Magic Engine, you set the path to the system cards in its configuration file, which allows you to boot from more than one disc drive (logical or virtual).
Though on second thought, maybe there isn't a separate Arcade Card option, considering it's just additional memory and not a different bios. If I was at home, I could check the configuration file, but I'm not. :-k
The rom of an Arcade Card and the Super CDRom cards are the same. Arcade card just has additional vram. It is an on/off option in mednefan. In fact if you load the ver. 3 rom in mednafen it only loads the rom and thus you get a regular CDROM2 splash screen that is ver. 3.

I do what Arkan says, and open up .pce for Syscard 3. Stryder actuall works this way. If I play Stryder with the built in MagicEngine system card it has glitches and is pretty much unplayble. Didn't know this for a long time.
@nikdog
Thanks for the explanation. I thought all this time when I loaded the SuperCD card image (with option for Arcade ram) it wasn't really quite the same as an Arcade card image. I've never used a real Arcade card and thought it was a different version with possibly a different startup screen (cd player etc). So good to know it is the same rom image as the v3. Makes sense now that you explain it.
I wish there was an arcade card bootup screen.
Quote from: Duo_R on 01/22/2011, 04:45 PMI wish there was an arcade card bootup screen.
Yeah, one with a ludicrously fancy boot animation would be nice.
Got mine today, that was quick! Also, I love the Zonk return address labels! And thanks for the spares too, I'll see if I can find good homes for them, I know a lot of people on other forums that want to try the game, but unfortunately most of them do not have Arcade cards.
Quote from: Duo_R on 01/22/2011, 04:45 PMI wish there was an arcade card bootup screen.
That would have been a nice touch. I'm not really sure why NEC didn't take the relatively small effort in making the change. Even just a simple textual change would have been nice - just something to distinguish it from the 3.0.

When I first got my arcade card I thought there was something wrong with it because it didn't say arcade anywhere.

Is it RoyVegas? lol
That's his specialty.
Whats with this Roy guy? I heard a few bad comments about him but he at least seems like a turbografx fan. If you are gonna criticize someone, I would think it would be the sega or NES losers. Just sayin... :?

What is the difference between the arcade duo card that is green & an arcade duo card that is blue? I don't have a DUO.....yet, but I'm just wonderin.
Quote from: GameFreak on 02/14/2011, 02:32 PMWhat is the difference between the arcade duo card that is green & an arcade duo card that is blue?
I suspect that one is sun faded and the other isn't, for there are only two different arcade cards - the Pro (orangish label) and the Duo (blueish label).

I'm guessing yes, as they just recently turned up and were listed as Boot Leg copies, with no manuals or case.. so i assumed they bought from you..

LETS GO. ROAD/BOAT/AIR TRIP TO NZ. WE GOTTA CRACK SOME SKULLS.
lets do it with C64's tied to bats, to make it more embarassing for them.
I got 6 copies from blueBMW and I gave 2 away free and traded another 2 for some 8 year old PC computer games value at about $7-$9. I wouldnt be surprised if over time the people that got multiple copies that give them away to friends or trade will show up on ebay eventually over time. Just because you see one for sale doesn't mean they got it from Blue. It could've changed hands a few times. Also I'm sure there are a few other sources to the booties. I have one black copy and one blue copy and I am not getting rid of them EVER. I just scored one of those double-cd cases to keep em in.
Either way I'll be happy to go to NZ and find out the real story. I heard it's a heck of a place to vacation.
I've got like 10 or 20. I dont remember.
It was half of the good ones and half of the gimpy ones...
I owe some to someone and some are for me, and then I may give the spares away at the CCAG here in June.

"Debbie" (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Members/Profile.aspx?member=1154147) out of Auckland, eh?
The item does look suspiciously like the ones here -- I mean, who else ever saw loosie Sapphires until blue started handing them out, hm?
Anyway, there's probably like 3 people in all of NZ who collects PCE stuff, so I'm not surprised it didn't sell.
I know people can be greedy f*cks, but I thought it would take a bit longer before we saw crap like this.

ban them now.
If they were known members then sure you could, perhaps i should have just pm'd blue rather than post here. seems you post something and sudddenly there is a witch hunt.. I was pretty sure that without posting a link to the actual item that blue would know if he shipped anything here.. for all we know it miight have been a legit sale from someone who was burnt buying a pirate ( not likely ) but possible.

At least they were honest that it's a boot and weren't trying to pass it off as an OMG R4R3 L@@K!!! for elebentythousand monies; I'm assuming that's in kiwi dollars, so it's only about $12 in good ol' greenbacks.
And thats why i posted :) to find out first if blue had sold to them. Of course we could have done that without posting the links, but no worrries.. ;) and yeah they were honest about what they were, so thats at least positive..

I remember one time someone was selling a mint copy of Maniac Mansion for C64.
with a notched disk, because the moron just wrote a disk image to a disk and made a nice looking label and put it in an empty Maniac Mansion box.
Someone was stupid enough to buy it and was like WHY DOES THIS HAVE A CRACKTRO? I PAID 300$

Yeah, I dunno what not posting the links accomplished -- It actually would've made it easier to "clear" the individual if blue didn't ship to them, but whatever.
And to be clear: blue
DID NOT SELL THESE to anyone. He's taking donations just to cover his time and shipping costs, which makes it all the worse
if someone is actually turning these around for profit, even if it was just for few bucks here and there.
People keep forcing me to take money for em :P But in all seriousness, if someone asks for some I'll send them no charge
Can I have some of the money people sent for them?
Thatd be cool. :D lol

oh ok I haven't read through/followed this thread just knew it was about a forum member kindly giving away free Sapphire Bootlegs.
Just saw the listing on ebay and thought to alert the OP on the off chance there is a reseller taking the free gift and selling it up on ebay for profit.
Hmm...Blue have you given away some booties to anyone with a low post count???
All of blue's were loose CDs, so that could only be one of blue's if the guy printed his own manual, insert, etc.
My post count is tiny and I really appreciate being sent 2 copies because with a wife, two kids, a big mortgage and a small PCE/TG16 addiction, I can't afford the ridiculous ebay price gouging to play certain titles and since I have only recently found and been granted membership here it may be a while until I am able to participate further (re: 200 post count inserts) in a community that actually seems to want to help each other out. For that I am also grateful. I know well enough from reading other posts that burning your bridges here is a fucking stupid idea.
I would like to point out, assuming the pictures posted in the auction are of the actual item being sold, that the disc isn't the misprinted version that BlueBMW has so generously sent out.
Ive given out tons to all types. High count, low count, even offered one to Roy (he kindly declined)
beamer snuck one in under the radar asfter inspecting my CDROM2 :-k sneaky sneaky
Folks! These are all gone (well I have a FEW left, but :-$ I'm saving them for special cases) Thanks to all that donated and took part! I removed the original posting as a precaution. But if anyone would like a copy of the original text, just send me a PM.
Dude, thanks again for this. =D>
That's crazy you moved all those.
Thanks for your contribution to the community.
thank you. :)
F@CK YEAH BLUE!
you're good people.
just forced a roomie of mine to play sapphire, he loved it.
:dance:
Yeah! Thanks again BlueBMW! If you ever need a kidney or something, hit me up :wink:
I think I might frame one of the discs and hang it on my wall :-k
I have a couple extra if someone wants one.
I'd really like to have one if you don't mind. Let me know.
Yeah, thanks blue. This was probably one of the awesome things that anyone did for the community.
I can also say that I'm willing to pass on my spare copy to someone else, *provided* that this person is a contributor -- that probably means no real candidates at this point in time as most current contributors/regulars here have one from blue already (unless it's a someone who had been MIA for awhile and missed out on this), but just sayin' for folks down the line...
I held back a handful of them for special cases like an older member returning after a long absence.
nice 1000 posts beamer lol
Wow didn't even notice :lol:
Yeah blue, you're an asset to the turbo community.
I got to play my copy the other night and Sapphire ROCKS. yeah best soundtrack ever too, I listen to it in my car all the time.
Blue, it's guys like you that give me a small glimmer of hope for humanity.
Thank you.
Agreed!
This was a really nice thing you did - and my Arcade card should be coming soon so I can play!
But the whole time I was here, I assumed that you were actually selling shoes in this thread -____- I just DID NOT make the connection between booties and boot legs.

If I'm honest, I did. I thought it was a replica pair of boots to some obscure 80's manga IE space Cobra. And they were purple and glittery. Welcome to my mind, try not to get lost :P
Hey guys. Blue sent me a few extra, so if anyone here would like one, please private message me. I may overlook a reply here in the forums, so its best to message me. I actually have 4 left since I sent one out already. Of course, like our buddy Blue here did, they will be free.

I finally picked up an original white PCE pad to go with my briefcase setup, and threw Sapphire in. (Thanks Blue!)
It's amazing that the oldest hardware they made could play such a graphically impressive game.

Very nice indeed! I may look into getting one of those set-ups! I like it much better than the USA version.
As a side note, I have sent out all the extra Sapphire Booties I had left.
Hi there! I'd been lurking this thread for awhile but my account just got activated so I can post. I'd be interested in grabbing a copy from someone if they have any extras left!
Im not sure who this is but its heartening to see that one of the recipients of sapphire boots is holding firm to not reselling them for profit!

Thanks to Blue, the price of Sapphire is reasonable, under $20 per legit copy :mrgreen:.

tell me the going price of thieves and it's yours!
Its been awhile since I've seen Men in Tights I don't know the going "price of thieves". I'm more a Spaceballs man myself :mrgreen:
Come to think of it, I think I've got Robin Hood on LD :-k
Dyna, send me a PM bout your sapphire :P
Just wanted to say thanks again to BlueBMW for this awesome game. I was also hoping to put together a back inlay and front for the case though, so it would look pretty with the rest of my PCE babies. So, I was wondering if anyone had scans of the original Sapphire?
I've made custom covers/inserts like this before, but I couldn't find anything in the resolution I needed so I figured I'd ask here. If I could get scans of just the front of the manual and the back insert at 300dpi or greater (descreened if possible), I'll put together the inserts and post them back here for anyone else that might want them too.
I guess I had missed this, BlueBMW pointed out that an insert was made for these already. I found the link around page 7 I think, but re-posting here for anyone else.

I took the pdf file to kinkos and got a print made up. It turned out perfect and they got it sized right. From a home printer you have to change your paper size settings to A4 or something to get it right.
I don't know if they're still available, but Sparkalicious made super nice, high-quality inserts.
Looks like I'm wayyyyyy late to this party. Any of these left by chance? :D
